This piece depicts a puja temple, with vibrant colors and intricate details that reflect the spiritual richness of Hinduism. At its center is the goddess Lakshmi, who embodies beauty, hope, wealth, and prosperity: inviting viewers to connect with the divine presence. Through this depiction, the artwork encourages a deeper understanding of my culture and the holidays we celebrate.
I used mixed media for this piece including acrylic paint, Prismacolors, strings, dried flowers, foil, fabric, beads, and small newspaper cutouts. I chose this approach to create vibrant colors, textures, and intricate details in the temple’s architecture to reflect the richness of Hindu rituals.
